Christmas Is A-Coming

Christmas is a-coming With all it's joys and toys No matter our age We never lose that little child excitement Every Christmas morning, our hearts start pumping Anxious to know what the jolly old man Has left for us under the tree The smell of pine, the glitter of the tinsel The multitude of colourful twinkling lights Happiness reigns supreme I wonder if Santa heard me ask for my special gift? Will Mom, Dad and my sister like what I bought them? At no other time of the year are families so close If only we could bottle up the love and enthusiasm And let it out when we need it through the year That jolly old man is watching with a big grin on his face To see how much happiness he has bestowed on us And hopes it will last till next time he rides into town Ahh! Christmas, there's no other time like it Christmas is a-coming With all it's joys and toys Happy, happy, happy! Merry Christmas to all! © Jack Ellison 2014

Here Santa gets in and out as fast as possible! With Dragon and the Trolls any thing can happen! He barely made it out alive last year. Forgot to wear his fire proof undies... And... Well... You know Dragon when he gets excited! HAH! Bet Santa won't forget this year!And those Silly Trolls are asking Santa for REALLY BIG pet worms. Darn... I think he might get them, too... Honestly folks! NOT Worm POO, again! Bet you never thought I'd be able to weave worm poo into a Santa poem. Did you? LOL!

Hey... Gotta a question? Does a worm added to the bottle of tequila... POO, too. Apparently, Santa takes the worm out after the worm good and drunk... No worms were hurt in the making of this reply... Well... A little hang over... maybe... LOL

Don't worry... Santa'a a guy... And nothing seems to surprise him around here... He loves to Visit with Grandpa Troll after it's over... and always gets him a bottle of Tequila with a WORM in the bottle... I think they both partake! HAH! Another worm in my Santa reply... Bet you're going to give up for the day, NOW! LOL... Hey, don't STOP NOW! This is fun... Yeah... I am a BIT weird... Got it from those weird frogs... and those Trolls... I'm telling you the truth... HONEST!
